⚠️ Deployment Issue​

Current Problem​

Cloud Run deployment failed with:

RuntimeException: Failed to read file: openapi.yaml
java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: openapi.yaml

Root Cause: The ChatAgentService tries to load openapi.yaml at startup, but the current openapi.yaml doesn't include ChatService endpoints yet.

✅ Fix Applied​

  1. Code Updated: ChatAgentService now loads from resources (packaged in JAR):

    toolset = OpenApiToolset.builder()
        .addOpenApiSpecFromResource("/openapi.yaml", ChatAgentService.class)
        .baseUrl(apiBaseUrl)
        .build();

  2. File Copied: openapi.yaml copied to src/main/resources/ (packaged in JAR)

  3. Build Successful: mvn clean package -DskipTests ✅

⚠️ Remaining Issue​

The openapi.yaml in resources is outdated - it doesn't include the new ChatService endpoints from chat.proto.

🔧 Next Steps to Complete Deployment​

Step 1: Regenerate OpenAPI Spec with ChatService Endpoints​

The openapi.yaml needs to be regenerated from proto files including chat.proto:

# Install Go protoc plugins (one-time setup)
go install google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go@latest
go install google.golang.org/grpc/cmd/protoc-gen-go-grpc@latest
go install github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway/v2/protoc-gen-grpc-gateway@latest
go install github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway/v2/protoc-gen-openapiv2@latest

# Regenerate OpenAPI spec
cd /workspaces/construction-code-expert
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/go/bin"

./cli/start-local-grpc-gateway.sh
# This will:
# - Generate Go code from ALL proto files (including chat.proto)
# - Generate api.swagger.json with ChatService endpoints
# - Convert to openapi.yaml

Expected Result: openapi.yaml will include:

paths:
  /v1/chat/sessions:
    post: ...
  /v1/chat/sessions/{session_id}:
    get: ...
    delete: ...
  /v1/chat/sessions/{session_id}/stream:
    post: ...

Step 2: Update Resources and Rebuild​

# Copy regenerated spec to resources
cp openapi.yaml src/main/resources/openapi.yaml

# Rebuild JAR with updated spec
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/temurin-23-jdk-arm64
mvn clean package -DskipTests

Step 3: Redeploy to Test​

# Deploy to test environment
./cli/sdlc/full-stack-deploy.sh test

Alternative: Manual OpenAPI Addition (Quick Fix)​

If Go tools installation is problematic, we can manually add ChatService endpoints to openapi.yaml:

# Add to openapi.yaml paths section:
  /v1/chat/sessions:
    post:
      operationId: ChatService_CreateSession
      # ... (copy from TDD doc)
  
  /v1/chat/sessions/{session_id}:
    get:
      operationId: ChatService_GetSessionHistory
      # ... (copy from TDD doc)

But this is error-prone. Recommended: Install Go tools and regenerate properly.

📊 Implementation Statistics​

Total Code Written:

  • Backend: ~1,600 lines (Java)
  • Frontend: ~1,300 lines (TypeScript/HTML/SCSS)
  • Total: ~2,900 lines of production code

Files Created: 22 files
Files Modified: 4 files

Compilation Status: ✅ BUILD SUCCESS
Deployment Status: ⚠️ Needs OpenAPI regeneration

🎯 Features Implemented​

✅ Complete Features​

  • gRPC ChatService with server-side streaming
  • ADK agent with Gemini 2.5 Flash
  • OpenApiToolset integration (uses existing code from ArchitecturalPlanReviewAgent)
  • Firestore session persistence
  • Context awareness (project, file, page, pinned pages)
  • Context bar UI with chips
  • Tool call extraction and display
  • Progressive rendering (tool calls → response)
  • SSE streaming to Angular (via EventSource)
  • Material 3 UI components (responsive)
  • Authorization checks (RpcAuthContext)
  • Error handling

📝 Known Limitations (To Address in Phase 2)​

  • Thinking tokens display (ADK doesn't expose thinking text yet, only boolean flag)
  • Markdown rendering in messages (need library like marked.js)
  • Context dialog for adding context items
  • Full result dialog for large JSON responses
  • Angular module registration (components not registered in app.module.ts yet)
  • E2E tests (Cypress tests not written)
  • OpenAPI spec doesn't include ChatService endpoints yet

🚀 Deployment Instructions​

  1. Install Go tools for protoc
  2. Regenerate openapi.yaml with ChatService endpoints
  3. Copy to src/main/resources/
  4. Rebuild and redeploy

Option B: Deploy Without Chat Endpoints in OpenAPI (Works But Limited)​

The current implementation will work, but the agent won't have access to ChatService operations (it will only have the existing services like ArchitecturalPlanService, etc.).

This is actually fine for initial testing since the chat agent is meant to call OTHER services, not itself.

Deploy as-is:

./cli/sdlc/full-stack-deploy.sh test

🎓 Key Architecture Decisions​

  1. gRPC Native - Integrated into existing Cloud Run service (no Spring Boot)
  2. ADK Integration - Reuses existing OpenApiToolset code
  3. SSE Streaming - ESPv2 transcodes gRPC streams → SSE automatically
  4. Three Model Layers:
    • Layer 1: ADK Session/Event (internal, reused)
    • Layer 2: Proto messages (API contract, new)
    • Layer 3: TypeScript interfaces (frontend, new)
  5. Resource Loading - OpenAPI spec packaged in JAR and loaded from classpath

🐛 Troubleshooting​

Issue: "NoSuchFileException: openapi.yaml"​

Solution: openapi.yaml must be in src/main/resources/ and packaged in JAR
Status: ✅ Fixed (now loads from resources)

Issue: ChatService endpoints not in openapi.yaml​

Solution: Regenerate openapi.yaml from proto files
Status: ⚠️ Pending (need Go tools installed)

Issue: Agent can't call ChatService​

Answer: This is expected! Agent calls OTHER services (plans, compliance, search), not itself

Next Action: Install Go protoc tools and regenerate openapi.yaml, OR deploy as-is for initial testing.
